Memories Of The Night 254 Chapter 254: Visit Aaron

Aaron turns his gaze to Katrina and says softly, "I don't mind doing it for her. She is important for me,"

The sudden display of affection makes everyone awkward.

Katrina flushes red. Why does he always have to be so happy in front of others? If he keeps saying things like that, people will easily misunderstand him! This is not good.

The captain clears his throat in embarra.s.sment. "Alright, I'll arrange our flight back now. Please have a good rest, Mr. Wilson."

He makes his leave and leads the team out, with Katrina the following suit to walk them out.

Colin stays behind to have a quick word with her. "Katrina, what are you waiting for?" he hisses, catching Katrina's arm. "Mr. Wilson is such a nice man! Hurry up and get him!"

I don't understand why she is so ridiculous! Mr. Wilson is in love with her. He even followed her all the way here to make sure she's safe! How could she continue to refuse him?

Even if she still likes Mr. Brook, it's all in the past. She has to look forward now. Mr. Brook may be an excellent man, but Mr. Wilson even better!

Listening to Colin scold her for not accepting Aaron makes the corner of Katrina's mouth twitch in annoyance. "Colin, I see you've changed."

Colin blinked in surprise and asked, "Changed? Am I getting more handsome? More masculine?"

"No. It seems you've started to bat for the other team."

Her words effectively shut him up. Well played, Katrina. He pretends to be insulted and shoots her an injured look.

Katrina smirks in response, and he turns around to walk away.

Later in the afternoon, Aaron gets discharged and goes straight to the airport with Katrina and her team.

It's past 10 o'clock in the evening by the time they arrive in Abbe.

Aaron's driver is waiting for him when he exits the airport. While Aaron goes back home, Katrina and her team go to the station to process Black Wolf's arrest and interrogate him. They work until the early hours of the following morning.

The March 29 armed robbery case finally comes to a satisfying end. Another team will take over processing Black Wolf's trial until he receives his sentence.

After a whole night of working, everyone is exhausted. The captain enters the room to make an announcement.

"The bosses are particularly pleased with Black Wolf's capture! Even the chief called to send his congratulations. Everyone's getting a double bonus this month, and every member of the task force will be getting five days of paid leave. Congratulations, everyone!"

The room bursts into cheers. The captain looks at everyone with a pleasing smile. Everyone has been on edge because of the case. But bringing Black Wolf to justice and getting a commendation from the Chief of Police makes all our hard work worth it.

The team leaves the station in high spirits.

"Five days off!" exclaims one of Katrina's colleagues. "How are you gonna spend your leave, Katrina? Will you be taking care of your boyfriend?"

Katrina immediately retorts, "He's not my boyfriend!"

Encouraged by the other man's comment, Colin adds, "Katrina, you're so cold-hearted! Mr. Wilson saved you at the cost of his own life, but won't even take care of him? Poor guy! I feel pity for him!"

In the face of her colleagues' complaints, Katrina replies helplessly, "I know, I know! I'll take good care of him!" Just because he's not my boyfriend doesn't mean I wouldn't visit him! He risked his life for me, of course, I'll visit him!

The captain approaches Katrina and hands her a bank card.

Katrina blinks in surprise. "What's this for, Captain?"

The captain scratches his head. "Katrina, this contains $10,000. Before you visit Mr. Wilson, buy him whatever you want as a gift from everyone. Mr. Wilson is the CEO of a big company, but he took time out of his busy schedule to help us. We have to thank him somehow."

Katrina doesn't know how to respond. Ten thousand dollars is nothing to Aaron. His clothes and meals must cost a lot more, and he definitely won't care about whatever gift I can buy with this…

But in the face of the captain's earnest look, she doesn't have the heart to refuse him. What right do I have to turn him down on Aaron's behalf?

"Yes, sir!" Katrina nods vigorously. "I'll do my best!"

The captain pats her shoulder in approval.

As soon as she gets home, Katrina takes a shower to wash the tiredness from her body. After she goes through the routine of brus.h.i.+ng her teeth and drying her hair, she gives in to the exhaustion and flops to the bed, falling into a deep sleep in an instant.

Katrina wakes up the next morning without the lingering effects of jetlag and the overtime s.h.i.+ft. She goes out and buys some supplements and other health care products before going to Aaron's villa.

During her short conversation with Aaron on the phone yesterday, he told her that he would be working at home while he recuperates. Having Randy around to a.s.sist him would be convenient while he catches up on work.

Katrina arrives at the villa with a handful of bags. As soon as she rings the doorbell, she hears Beta bark from the inside.

Randy opens the door for her with a smile. "As soon as Beta started barking, I knew Miss Miller had arrived!"

His eyes widen at the bags, and he hurries to take them from her. "Miss Miller, your visit is more than enough! You didn't have to bring all of these!"

Beta hurls past Randy and tackles Katrina, who crouches down to give Beta a hug. She smiles at Randy and replies, "Our captain asked me to buy something for Aaron. I'm just obeying orders."

Katrina follows Randy into the living room, only to find it empty. "Randy, where's Aaron?"

"Mr. Wilson is upstairs. He should be in his room."

"Oh, I'll go up and see him then!" Katrina says, heading to Aaron's room.
